BTW, just had a close look at the photos; the fitting are poor quality. Similar properties but with more land have gone for £700k.Last edited by Paddy; 4 August 2020, 13:28."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Originally posted by TwoWolves View PostA neighbour of ours has just put his house on the market. After three years there he's selling because his wife has lost her job and they depend on two incomes to pay the mortgage, despite having a third child to look after.
The asking price is just under 30% more than what they paid.
I just don't understand who they expect to buy it?
Managed to sell the house by a miracle and way below asking price (asking price was 15% more than what he paid). Taking into accounts selling price and renovation costs, I don't think he broke even.
London is finished.Comment

Originally posted by PCTNN View PostFriend of mine bought a house in london area 3 years ago. Renovated the whole thing: ripped the carpet and put laminate flooring (ok laminate is utter sh1te but still an upgrade from carpet), installed new boiler/smart heating system, redid the deck and back garden.
